Not This Time’s Disco Time made it look easy in dominating seven overmatched rivals while winning the $250,000 St. Louis Derby at Fairmount Park on Sept. 19.

Ridden by Florent Geroux, the Juddmonte homebred set sail for the lead at the break of the 1 1/16-mile fixture. The dark bay or brown gelding showed the way in the two path in the run up the backstretch. He inched away from rivals around the far turn and drew away through the lane. Wrapped up late, Disco Time won by 5 ½ lengths at the finish, covering the distance in 1:43.87 for trainer Brad Cox.

With the facile win, Disco Time remained undefeated in four lifetime starts. He captured the Lecomte Stakes (G3) at Fair Grounds in January, defeating Built by a neck over a sloppy track, and after his victory in the St. Louis Derby now boasts a bankroll of $441,960.

Disco Time broke his maiden in his career debut last November at Churchill Downs, drawing clear to win a seven-furlong maiden special weight by 3 ¾ lengths at first asking. He returned to capture an Churchill Downs allowance/optional claiming event at one mile by 3 ½ lengths in his only start at two.

Disco Time is by Not This Time, who is also represented this year by the stakes-winning 3-year-olds Magnitude, Final Gambit, Troubleshooting, Dream On, and Giocoso, and is the third-ranked sire of 3-year-olds in 2025. Not This Time is the co-leading sire of 3-year-olds by graded stakes winners (tied with Into Mischief with 6). Disco Time is out of the multiple stakes-winning and graded stakes-placed Jump Start mare Disco Chick, who amassed earnings of $735,250 during her accomplished racing career.
